Illusory realm, the core area of the imperial city, in the central hall of the huge ancient castle.
An old gentleman wearing a gold-rimmed monocle sat on a dazzling king's chair inlaid with all kinds of beautiful crystals. He held a black scepter in his hands and squinted his eyes into slits, exuding an air of unfathomable depth. The most eye-catching part of his extremely distinctive face was the pitch-black mole at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Excellency, the black dragon has been captured. But by the time we caught him, he had already killed three past commanders. "A spherical guard floating in the air entered the palace and reported the current situation in an electronic voice.
"This matter should not be made public. The previous commanders also had backup bodies. Have they been replaced? "Na Wei held onto his scepter and replied indifferently.
"All of them have been replaced with newly developed antique Divine Weapon androids. Up until now, the families of these killed commanders still haven't reacted."
"Mm, this matter has been handled beautifully." Na Wei smiled. "Shouchong and the black dragon are both in place. The merging of the Brain of God has been completed. Now we just have to wait for Mr. Na Wei Gong to offer up his body … Have they arrived? "
"Yes, Your Excellency Na Wei. They have already entered Dicas's mansion."
"Immediately send people over and surround the mansion. We must capture Gong alive. Try not to damage her body. "
"Yes, Your Excellency."
After making all these arrangements, Na Wei heaved a long sigh of relief on the king's chair.
Back then, his Master, the Heartless Ancestor, had divided a portion of his left and right brain tissues.
One of them had been implanted into his body when the black dragon had been created.
The other was in Shouchong's body.
After years of painstaking preparation, the Brain of God had finally been assembled. This made Na Wei very happy.
Of course, there was one thing that made him even happier.
He had discovered a body that was more suitable for creating antique Divine Weapons and mass-producing them …
If he could obtain such a body, he could replace the existing materials with the latest bionic technology.
His antique Divine Weapon would be peerless and invincible …
…
Following the address Decars had given them, Lotus Sun and the others smoothly arrived at Di Manor. Back in the slums, Skady had already built and operated this magnificent private mansion in the core area through his connections and channels.
It was all for the sake of waiting for the day when he obtained the pass and became a true superior. Then, he could directly move his family into this magnificent mansion.
This was the lifelong dream of all lowly people.
Although Dicasse was different from the ordinary "lowly" people as he was the most hopeful person among the "ascenders" in the slums to enter the core area and move to this huge and magnificent Imperial City, the "ascenders" were still classified as "lowly" in the archive.
The only difference was that their assets and connections were incomparable to those of ordinary scums. They belonged to the higher stages of scums.
But now, the situation had completely changed. Dicasse had finally realized his long-awaited dream. He could live in a large mansion that he had prepared long ago and settle down comfortably in this Imperial City. He could have eight or ten wives, raise a bunch of cute children, and live the life he wanted.
At least, that was what Lotus Sun and Kuugiya Ryoko thought when they saw this mansion.
But when they actually entered the mansion, it was strangely quiet, which was indeed beyond their expectations.
As a powerful ascender, Dicasse had already begun to lay out his plans for the interior of the Imperial City when he was in the slums. It was impossible that this huge mansion didn't even have a single hired servant.
"It's a little strange, Rongrong …" In the team voice channel, Kuugiya Ryoko couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She tugged at Lotus Sun's cloak and could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the mansion wasn't right.
"I can sense Mr Di's aura. He should be in this room in front of us … "Lotus Sun led the way at the very front. In fact, she also had an ominous premonition.
Relying on the powerful passive perception ability of man and sword as one, Mysterious Sea was able to identify Dicasse's aura in this mansion, but it was very weak.
It was completely different from the Dicasse they had parted ways with on the road leading to the core area.
When they arrived at the core area, their first reaction wasn't to complete Zhu Yuanrun's mission and go after the black dragon, but to catch up to Dicasse as soon as possible because of what Monk Jin Deng had said, to prevent him from getting into danger.
But looking at the current situation, Lotus Sun sensed that they were still a step too slow.
Although Dicasse had left before them, it had only been less than an hour!
"Mr Di …"
Lotus Sun knocked on the front door of the inner hall. The door wasn't completely locked, and opened easily with a light knock.
After Lotus Sun's call, the deathly silent inner hall emitted a strange and soft whimpering sound.
The sound was muffled and couldn't be heard at all. If one didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't even be able to detect it.
Feeling extremely uneasy, Lotus Sun finally walked up to a wooden wine barrel hidden at the back of the inner hall.
And Dicasse's aura.
It was inside this wooden barrel …
Clenching her teeth, Lotus Sun summoned up her courage and lifted the lid of the barrel. A foul stench immediately hit them in the face. It was an extremely complex and rancid smell, like meat products that had gone bad after being marinated for a long time.
Lotus Sun and Ryoko Kuamiya were dumbfounded.
Because an eyeball was looking at them from inside the barrel. Even though she couldn't tell what Dicasse looked like, she could still tell that it was Dicasse's eye.
"Mr Di …" Lotus Sun's eyes instantly turned red, and she tried to use Mysterious Sea's healing sword qi to heal him.
But it was already useless.
Dicasse had been killed long before they had arrived.
Such a big guy had been chopped into pieces, and put together with the scattered parts in this wine barrel …
"This is the calamity he deserves. Healing sword qi can save people, but it has no effect on the dead. " Monk Jin Deng sighed. He made a Buddhist salute to the wooden barrel, and the Buddha's Light of Rebirth had already condensed in his hand.
This beam of light could quickly end Dicasse's pain and allow him to enter a new cycle of reincarnation.
But before this beam of light, Jin Deng seemed to think of something, and he extracted the almost inaudible whimpers from the wooden barrel.
They converged into a short string of words …
This was the message of death that Dicasse had gathered with his obsession before he was killed.
There were only two words: Run.
"Perhaps it's because we left the address earlier, and he calculated that we would come looking for him. That's why he left this message. "
Monk Jin Deng sighed. He spread out his Buddha's hand, which was full of glittering golden light and boundless divine power of the Buddhist dharma. "Mr Di, this little monk and the two girls have received your message. Have a safe journey … this little monk has calculated that you will be incomparably happy in your next life … "
A beam of Light of Rebirth fell.
In the wooden barrel, Dicasse turned into golden powder with his last obsession and floated towards the Pure Land of Bliss …
After doing all this, he saw the two emotional girls with teary eyes, and hurriedly comforted them. "Miss Rong, and … Miss Ryoko. Right now, the battle isn't over yet. Keep moving forward. "
He felt that his words couldn't be said to be comforting.
Modern cultivators hadn't experienced too many past wars.
But without the peace they were used to enjoying, the true path of cultivation was often much crueler than that of modern cultivation.
This was a truth that could only be understood after experiencing it for oneself.
Touching upon the cycle of life and death …
Except for that man, no one had the ability to change the outcome that had already been decided.
"Senior Jin Deng, I understand."
Wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes, she raised her eyes and scanned the surroundings with her spiritual sense. "Come out, all of you … I will return Mr Di's pain to you several times over!"
As soon as she said that.
A powerful sword qi suddenly howled out of Lotus Sun's body!
Next to her, Ryoko Kyumiya was completely shaken in that one breath.
"Rong Rong …" She felt that Lotus Sun had become a different person, or rather … her previous understanding of Lotus Sun was completely incomplete.
The sword qi emanating from her body was too strong …
Ryoko Kyumiya thought that in all her life, she had only felt this kind of awe once, when she had been fortunate enough to meet that extremely famous Blademaster in Huaxiu nation!
And now, the sword qi erupting from Lotus Sun … seemed to be even more violent than when she had met Blademaster back then!
This was the true fury of a hibiscus.
